SHE WAS GOING TO KILL HER brothers. All three of them. Slowly. In front of the entire town of Paxton, Texas.

How dare they invite Jared Kendrick to Trent’s wedding? No, not only invite him, but also have him in the wedding party. Were they insane? Was this some kind of lame joke?

Whatever the cause, they were dead men for sure.

“The wedding was beautiful,” said Amanda Newman, wife of the minister who’d performed the ceremony. “Trent and Erin seem so happy. Now all of your brothers are blissfully married. Guess it won’t be long until you follow their example.”

Leigh barely resisted the urge to gag. As if. She’d rather go swimming with piranha. Here she’d finally married off her last meddlesome brother and from this point on, she’d be an independent woman.

No way was she giving up her freedom anytime in this century.

“I’m too young to get married,” she told Amanda. Standing on her tiptoes, she scanned the wedding reception crowd, looking for her brothers.

How hard was it to spot three tall men in tuxes? Apparently impossible, since she didn’t see them.

Maybe the weasels were hiding from her. Yeah. That was a distinct possibility. At least it was if they had the slightest inkling as to what she was thinking at the moment.

“Oh, now I’m sure this wedding is giving you ideas.” Amanda patted Leigh’s arm and smiled. “I can see you’re studying the decorations, maybe coming up with plans for your own reception.”

Leigh stared at her, stunned. Amanda was a sweet older woman, but boy, she didn’t have a clue what Leigh was thinking. Not that she could exactly enlighten her. After all, how did you tell the minister’s wife that you were looking for your brothers so you could kill them? Hmmm. Emily Post probably didn’t have any etiquette advice for this particular circumstance.

Deciding not to go into it, Leigh said, “I’m not interested in getting married. Thanks.”

Figuring that was settled, she returned to scanning the crowd. Where were those bozos? She finally spotted two of her sisters-in-law, Megan and Hailey, over by the buffet table. Wherever they were, their husbands and her brothers, Chase and Nathan, wouldn’t be far behind.

Bingo. She’d found them.

She started to head in that direction when Amanda once again put her hand on Leigh’s arm.

“Getting married and starting your own family is one of life’s precious gifts,” Amanda said. “As I know your brothers have discovered.”

Leigh bit back a groan. Would this woman never stop? She didn’t want to get married. She didn’t want to fall in love.

She only wanted to talk to her ratfink brothers and then maybe kick Jared Kendrick out of here.

Was that too much to ask for?

“No offense, Amanda, ’cause I know you’re happily married,” Leigh said. “But I have no desire to live in a house with a white-picket fence.”

“Do tell. Because I could have sworn that the house you’re renting from Megan has a white-picket fence out front,” a deep voice said from behind her.

Oh, just great. While
